Stories of Adventure, Wonder & Discovery

I’ve sat with this story for a long time—since the end of 2022, to be exact. And for the most part, I chose to move on, to process it privately, to let it fade into the catalogue of life experiences that leave you changed but silent. But recently, three events stirred something in me, compelling me to speak up.

I’ve always been fascinated by breath. From a young age, I remember watching runners pass by and wondering—are they breathing right for what they’re doing? I’d hear one person gasping, another breathing rhythmically, and it struck me that maybe not all breaths are created equal. Just like how we each move differently, I figured there must be more optimal ways to breathe depending on how we move. That curiosity stuck with me.
